Re: fainty ..cant stand othostatic hyoptension

[Guest guest]

Rhonda,

I think it is pretty common with low aldosterone to have low sodium and high

potassium. Val on the adrenals group can probably give more info.

It does seem odd that you can go so long without peeing if your aldosterone is

low. Do you have symptoms of high Vasopressin as that is a hormone that has an

anti-diuretic effect. You may want to look into that.

your aldosterone is very low. Mine was only 4 <range <=21>, when it is really

bad it is called salt wasting. You can take in salt all day and it doesn't

matter because you just pee it out.

Thanks Steph. Who would you see to get a prescription for Florinef. My doc is with Bodylogics, MD. He is not comfortable prescribing this and I think I need to look into it further...

I have to say that taking Fatigued to Fantastic has helped with the extra water gain...I think it is the Licorice in it. I am only taking one tab a day; I think the bottle says to take up to two. I am taking this in addition to my adrenal rebuilder, which has about 920 mg per tab of Procine and the other has 35 mg of Bovine only, so I have decided to take both.

Thank you,

Rhonda

I have a doctor in land who will prescribe it. I'm not sure if you can get

it without an Rx. Have you had your aldosterone tested? If you are low then I'm

not sure why your doctor wouldn't prescribe it, although I think it is hard to

find docs to prescribe steroid meds. Maybe you can post a question about finding

a doc in your area to the group and see if anyone responds. Where do you live?
